FlipOut Sandals is excited to announce a fashionable partnership with the American Cancer Society to support breast cancer awareness and the organization’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” event.

On October 14th FlipOut Sandals will kick up its heels at the ACS Hope Lodge New York City and provide a day of relaxation for guests and families. FlipOut Sandals will pamper Hope Lodge guests with relaxing pedicures, soothing massages, sweet pink treats, and gifted pairs of their signature Pink Jelly Sandals.

“We are truly inspired by the generosity of the organization and the strength and courage of their guests,” remarks Tracey Hunter, co-owner of FlipOut Sandals. “We want to celebrate the American Cancer Society’s efforts to finding a cure and this event was just our small way of trying to give something back. Along with co-owner, Cheryl Hamersmith-Stewart, we are thrilled to host an event with Hope Lodge that celebrates life, beauty and fashion.“

To keep in stride with Breast Cancer Awareness month, FlipOut Sandals will also put a fashionable foot forward by donating 25% of their proceeds to the American Cancer Society during the month of October with each purchase of the pink Jelly and pink Shoe Jewelry pieces (including the Dazzling Pink Daisy, Rare Pink Orchid, and Pink Impatiens.) FlipOut Sandals Haute Pink Jelly retails for $59.99 exclusively online, flipoutsandals.com. Additional pink shoe jewelry pieces retail separately between $16.99- 24.99.

Society Hope Lodge, Jerome L. Greene Family Center offers free, temporary housing for cancer patients and their families who are undergoing treatment. Since opening their doors in 2007, Hope Lodge NYC has provided 5,000 nights of free lodging and saved cancer patients and their families approximately $12 million.  More than a place to stay, Hope Lodge is a home away from home, offering a comfortable and supportive environment for encouragement and healing.
